Façades #6

Part of Éditions Polystyrène's elegant Collection Façades series, this sixth installment — Principes de Conservation (ou Comment Lutter Contre la Décomposition) — by Ludovic Rio carries its literary ambitions right on its sleeve. The cover presents a beautifully rendered golden doorway set against deep burgundy red, its panels adorned with a small "No Admittance" sign that hints at themes of resistance and preservation. There's a quiet, almost architectural poetry to the design that perfectly suits a 2017 series built around the metaphor of facades.
